Henry Cecil '10

Contents

Lucky Bag

Henry Barton Cecil

Huntsville, Tennessee

"Cash" "Costet" "Uncle Ike"

Harry Cecil, a Creole, by gar!
Crawled in while the gates were ajar.
He resembles Costet,
At least so they say.
And is thought to have once tended bar.

A GOOD-HEARTED, chubby little fellow from sunny Tennessee. Goes into life for all the pleasure the day may bring forth. His jolly laugh is welcomed by all but,—Oh you songster! Is ever ready to listen to your tale of woe and to give you one in return that will make you feel almost ashamed of ever thinking yourself ill used. Seldom goes on liberty (usually has the exact change to be on the grade). For three years he was always going to swear off smoking in a few days, and finally, First Class year, when he could smoke with impunity, he actually did knock off. After each hop says, "No more fussing for me," but . . . Youngster cruise after each liberty at New London he used to make the gun deck lively with descriptions of the thrilling experiences Sis had been brought through safely by the genius of his legal adviser, H. Barton Cecil.
